Located in Baber Mahal, Kathmandu, opposite to road development office, the council regularly conducts a variety of excellent exhibitions in its massive exhibition area and attracts all people from every walk of life who are actually curious about art forms and want to know more. It is a government organization which offers the opportunity to become more familiar with the art world to the locals and any other interested people. It holds regular art exhibition rather than focusing on art sales and supporting a permanent gallery. The gallery might feature a variety of local art or focus on the art from one particular nation or enjoy a combination of both in its large and wide exhibition area. For its choice of exhibitions held here, the gallery has gained an international reputation for exhibition excellence.

Although the major focus of the council has always been the gallery, a small art library was also established during the late 2000s. The council encourages the creativity in the people in terms of art that constitutes of paintings, photography, sculpture, etc. Interested and creative artists might take their samples of work to the Nepal Art Council and can book the gallery for your own exhibition.
